CONTRAINDICATIONS:
CONTRAINDICATIONS SECTION
This product is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
WARNINGS:
WARNINGS SECTION
Folate alone is not appropriate therapy for pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias associated with vitamin B12 deficiency.
PRECAUTIONS:
PRECAUTIONS SECTION
Folate in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia, in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive.
There is a potential danger in administering folate to patients with undiagnosed anemia, since folate may obscure the diagnosis of pernicious anemia by alleviating the hematologic manifestations of the disease while allowing the neurologic complications to progress. This may result in severe nervous system damage before the correct diagnosis is made. Adequate doses of vitamin B12 may prevent, halt, or improve the neurologic changes caused by pernicious anemia.
The patient’s medical conditions and consumption of other drugs, herbs, and/or supplements should be considered.
To be used only under the supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner.

Drug Interactions:
DRUG INTERACTIONS SECTION
Multitam™ is not recommended for and should not be given to patients receiving levodopa because the action of levodopa is antagonized by pyridoxine. There is a possibility of increased bleeding due to pyridoxine interaction with anticoagulants (e.g., Aspirin, Heparin, or Clopidogrel).
Adverse Reactions:
ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION
Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folate.
Adverse reactions have been reported with specific vitamins and minerals but generally at levels substantially higher than those contained herein. However, allergic and idiosyncratic reactions are possible at lower levels.
